Matthew Pollock reveals failed attempts to join Aberdeen

The Watford defender has spoken about his desire for a permanent transfer to the club he loves.


Mattie Pollock, a 24-year-old English Centre-Back for Watford, revealed that he made a strong effort to sign for Aberdeen on a permanent basis following a successful loan spell three years prior. He explained that he unsuccessfully attempted to return at the start of the season and tried again in January when Aberdeen sought to sign him permanently. Pollock stated he was open to the transfer as he was not playing at the time. However, the transfer did not proceed because Watford played him in the last game of the window, and he remained in the team thereafter.

He confirmed he is completely open to rejoining the club he loves and would not rule out a future return, particularly if his contract expires or he is no longer playing. Pollock's contract with Watford expires on June 30, 2029, and his current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €1.50m. In the 2025/2026 season, he has made 23 appearances in the Championship, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
